Turell murder trial finally begins

TRENTON — On Tuesday morning, a jury heard Ivelis Turell’s tearful talks with detectives about how she shot and killed her boyfriend in a tussle for a gun she feared he’d use on her.

It happened after another of their frequent arguments while the couple’s two children slept on May 2, 2007. The woman told detectives in an audio tape played in the courtroom of Mercer County Superior Court Judge Pedro Jimenez.
